AI Model Development Timelines: Pre-training to Public Release

Discussions around the development timeline for advanced AI models suggest a significant gap between pre-training and public release. It's estimated that pre-training can take up to six months, followed by a month of post-training. The subsequent phases, including internal testing, safety guardrail implementation, external validation, and regulatory approvals, can extend this timeline considerably. Some speculate that leading AI labs maintain a buffer of one to two future model generations internally, implying that current public releases are already behind the cutting edge of internal development. AI

IMPACT Provides insight into the potential lead time for new AI capabilities, suggesting that public releases may lag behind internal advancements.

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>with public leak of models like Astra before and Doug now of OpenAI and each of which have a new pretrain apparently. I was wondering how much advanced models does each company has at a given time which they haven't released yet. In this context …
